Niomi Smart #86 The woman is having a never ending existential crisis

She could just be messing with us. But that would require a sense of humour

They are probably thriving having a good laugh...

Have any of y'all read Doppelganger by Naomi Klien? She talks a lot about social media and the crunchy-to-nutso pipeline. It's a VERY good read and often makes me think of Nims.

I've just ordered that actually. Looking forward to it, if I ever finish The Covenant of Water (which I'm totally enjoying, it's just loooooong)

I must have been living under a rock. I've always pictured Bali as a classy high end wedding destination with pristine beaches. This thread has opened my eyes!

With Australians it has a reputation as a bogan travel destination. Bintang singlets and mullets riding scooters.

I wanted to visit Bali for years after reading Eat, Pray, Love (what can I say, I’m a basic witch!) as it sounded so lovely and idyllic. That was written in the early 2000s and it sounds like it’s changed so much and is an absolute shithole now. It’s high on my list of “places I’d never visit”, along with Dubai, which is also famous for its influencer wankers.

 

[pinkmug]

Same, and why anyone would enjoy Dubai is beyond me tbh, it's a city built on slave labour, full of tacky excess and shopping with fudge all else to do. Niomi also loved it there if memory serves

 

[Lionsden]

Weren't Lordon and Niomi supposed to organize a Human Garage even in London this December? I wonder if that's going to happen.

 

[EGuyUK]

Erm...

 

[gmik8210]

Erm...

I'm too scared to watch.

 

[Callan]

omg that was so cringeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

Bali/indonesia is beautiful. The people are great.

Areas have for sure suffered from over tourism. The likes of Kuta match your description.

I can’t lie, I’m very jealous of Niomi being in Bali. If there was anywhere I could up sticks and move to, it would be Indonesia.

but then I’m interested in the archaeology and geology of the area, and the wildlife. Niomi likes the smoothie bowls and faux spiritualism.

 

[Nitfey]

Oh my...I cannot start every day with vomit tattlers ...geeez
How that idiot even think to associate herself with that creepy hole is beyond me. That garbage human needs to locked up

 

[Sq333]

Dangerous loons.
I'm sure Donkey is heavily into this 'I'm blessed and have insight and am therefore better than you' twaddle. He can blame all his shortcomings on the universe having a bigger plan for him.
Niomi I'm not so sure. She says all the words but we know she'd drop it all for a country house, two children and two dogs and lots of brands deals involving trips to London. With a handsome Joey type husband. Who looks like he washes and smells pleasant.

Basically Fleur de Force's life

 

[curiouscat106]

Seeing that Garbage Garry video just confirmed that behind the scenes Lordon is a very dark and dangerous person and Nims is in deeper trouble than she’d ever admit to.

 

[LolitaBlah]

I wonder if they are still in Bali. With the volcano eruption and all flights canceled...

 

[curiouscat106]

She’s not put anything out about more yoga classes…
If she was in London/Sussex and offline it would probably be a good thing, but in Bali (where she’s already isolated) the fact that she’s stopped posting is unnerving.

Yeah but at least FDF knows how to create content and created a successful jewelry line. I wouldn't describe Mike as a 'handsome Joey type'

I’ve been there for a wedding and it was very beautiful out of the built-up areas. It’s just very unfortunately suffered from being an economical tourist destination and the government has prioritised tourist dollars over its own people.

I will go ahead and put on my cone of shame because I think Mike is cute Not Joey level hot but I always found him good looking.
